Two people dressed in black running shorts and white t-shirts hunched over preparing to run in front of an orange background. The male on the left is a caucasian young adult with an incredibly worried expression on his face, he is also wearing a white sweatband on his head and wrists. The female on the left is a caucasian young adult with a determined and angry expression, her hair is in pigtails and she is wearing white sweatbands on her wrists.
A title of 'The Beep Test,' in cartoonish block letters sits on the right hand side of this banner. Within the text the P has been drawn to resemble a whistle. Underneath the cartoonish title are the words 'a comedy musical in black.' Balancing the space on the opposite side is the image of a caucasian young woman in front of a caucasian young man. Both of these people are holding their fists high in the air in a pose of triumph and celebration. The are surrounded by a pink border around then. Behind this image and the title is an orange background with a faded basketball court markup on it. At the lower half are collaged images of criss-cross markup paper, scrawled-scribbled pencil text, and the pasted image of a brown clipboard, black whistle, pink water-bottle and green milo tin.

The Beep Test

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Musical theatre
Australia • SA Premiere

Presented by: Neylon & Peele

'The class of Year 7C have been training hard for the annual Beep Test!'

'The Beep Test' is a comedic, fast-paced, over the top new Australian musical that dives into the drama and chaos that was school Beep Tests. The musical follows four determined students and one far too enthusiastic PE Teacher of class 7C as they compete for the number one place whatever the cost!

Upcoming musical theatre writers ‘Neylon & Peele’ are back with this award-winning work after sell-out seasons at Perth and Melbourne Fringe. Inspired by their own experiences with the infamous fitness test, they are staying true to their mission of presenting work that is new, vibrant and one ridiculously good time!

*'The Beep Test' is an award winning (Melbourne Fringe, WAAPA) and nominated (WA FRINGEWORLD) production*
